Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.13/day in the week to Aug 3 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

You get what you would expect from a small indie developer, I have just finished the game and so far what got my attention is: +Pro -Decent Base Building -Decent Voice Acting -Nice Artstyle -Decent Combat System What Need Improvement: -When you load a save file, your control group become a mess, and sometimes units are hurt or dead -The building system need to be more polished (Dead workers still finished building, Building can't be canceled, Worker can't be selected when building) -I have encountered a bug where my Legionnaires kept on reviving and dying when trying to replenish their squad near the hive -Story line need to be improved more It's a decent base building RTS game that need more polishing, so don't expect it to be as good as other AAA title or past giant game like C&C, warfcraft, etc.
Needs UI scaling options, pretty annoying on ultrawide

The last time I played a new real-time strategy game… well, yesterday actually. But before that, it had been at least ten years. Anyway – I gave The Hive a try. It’s not a bad game. Imagine taking the style and atmosphere of WarCraft 3 (plus the light RPG elements), then making the playable race almost a 100% copy of the Zerg, and you’ve got The Hive. Unfortunately, there’s no multiplayer or skirmish mode – only a PvE campaign. Still, it’s fairly well put together, with a story and some mission variety. If only the units weren’t complete one-to-one copies of the damn Zerg. Right now the game is just €5 on Steam, and at that price it’s a steal. But once the offer’s gone, the price jumps to €20 – which is way too much for a game that, at best… is just “okay.” Video: https://youtu.be/IlYGNb95uYI
O jogo é bem interessante e simples e possui 3 modos de dificuldade: Normal, difícil e Insano. Achei o jogo bem otimizado e para ficar perfeito só faltou uma legenda em PT-BR, mesmo assim recomendo para quem curte o estilo de jogo RTS. Confira a gameplay do jogo no meu canal do Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGch4UneVwU

Decent 7/10 rts game.
⭐ The Hive Puedes encontrar el análisis completo de este juego y muchos otros en mi canal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KousoGames 📖 Datos Generales The Hive es un juego de estrategia en tiempo real con elementos ligeros de RPG, donde controlas una colonia de criaturas insectoides que debe crecer, recolectar recursos, construir estructuras y sobrevivir en un entorno hostil. Cada misión ofrece un nuevo mapa, pero bajo una estructura similar: explora, expándete, mejora tus unidades y elimina a los enemigos. El título presenta una campaña compuesta por misiones individuales que, aunque visualmente bien ambientadas, comparten un patrón bastante uniforme. Las mecánicas son accesibles y el juego en sí es sencillo de entender, con una curva de dificultad bastante suave. ✍️ Opinión personal En cuanto al rendimiento, no he tenido ningún problema. El juego funciona con fluidez, sin caídas ni errores, incluso en equipos más modestos. Eso es algo de agradecer. Como experiencia general, The Hive cumple sin más. No es un juego especialmente complejo ni profundo. Desde el principio queda claro cuál es la rutina: recolectar, construir, explorar, combatir y repetir. El bucle de juego es funcional, pero se vuelve predecible y algo repetitivo a medida que avanzas. Se nota que es un título de otra época: el diseño visual y las mecánicas tienen ese aire de estrategia clásica, sin demasiados adornos ni innovaciones. Aun así, si lo que buscas es algo relajado para echar un rato sin complicaciones, puede ser una opción bastante decente. ✅ Conclusión The Hive no aspira a revolucionar el género, pero ofrece una experiencia RTS accesible y estable. Es ideal para quienes quieran un juego de estrategia sin complicaciones, con partidas tranquilas y un ritmo moderado. Le falta variedad y profundidad, pero para pasar el rato puede funcionar bien.

How to explain this. I like the game, it was a fun experience. Is it good? Kinda, its a very close 6/10 when it comes to the game itself. The story was complete garbage, with an advisor that I felt they missed the mark with, at the end. I would have loved a twist that would explain why he knows everything. But they went the safe route with an endgame boss that left so much more to give. The RPG aspect of the game was really not good. Sure your units can level up, but its only for the map, which makes it just useless overall sure they get stronger, but the next map they still goes back to 1 when you craft them again. (Hero units should have exp/lvl carried over. Then we come to the equipments. No point in them after 5 maps, I dissolved everything for DNA just to increase my overall stats for every unit instead of just making 1 or 7 units stronger. The idea is great, but I felt it should have been that instead of upgrading your units with buildings, you upgrade the whole DNA strand with equipments. For example take the Light infantries, you want to give them more health? Give them armor and everyone gets more. And instead of having like 6 gears for each unit, you could have made that you can have 3 (and 6 types could still be there) But you could equip any 3 (not of the same type) and buff the corresponding unit. This would give the “rpg” a more feeling of you actually making the army as what the game kinda tried to imply. There is no real stratergy, in the game either. You can micro which I don’t really mind. The medics do heal, but the amount is just not close to what the enemies do in later maps. Just build Wasps and or Hunters, kinda the only thing you need Best way is just to go around with a worker, and building hives (hives gives an AOE heal to everything and also replenish unit that dies) Which makes Medics useless. This too could have been an awesome thing in the equipment, having that you could get the medics to have a chain heal etc. But alas, there is not. I do like the overall gameplay, it was fun. There is a lot of bugs in the game but im so used to them that they don’t even bother me anymore. (I get them in every game I play, and a lot of them) For example building more then 2 burrows (unit cap increase) might bug the cap counter and lock you out from getting any more at all. Which could be fixed by reloading the save or just restarting which sucks. But after I noticed it I only built 1 building at a time and not 3-9 that I often do in RTS The thing that made me by the game was that It gave me Impossible Creature vibes with the “Harvest DNA from defeated enemies to unlock new units, abilities and stratergies.” This however is just the games item dissolve feature. Its a shame, but what to do. I know its a lot of negative things, but the game itself was fun, its just a shame that the achivements didn’t work for me, Not a single one. And I might comeback to the game when they work, to finish it on the hardest one. Overall it was a fun experience with so much potential that shows, but the devs really not having a real way to go, instead it felt they have just added things because they like them in other games, but not really wondering how it all shall work together.
Nem rossz rts lett, igaz az első 2 küldetés után hagytam abba, elvileg 10 küldetéses a kampány, ha nem lesz sok játék akkor simán visszatérek befejezni mert eléggé ritka univerzumot építettek bele :)
Slow paced and boring.
